Electronic Arts plans to grow its digital game business to become one-third of their total revenue over the next few years and that includes starting to charge for what one analyst described as very long game demos.

will it be like.. pay 15 dollars for the demo, and then pay 35 for the game? that'd be cool, i guess.

That'd work for games as big as Prototype or GTA4 were, but if I was just casually checking out a game that might be good, charging money is a horrible idea.
